We have been talking to our local peoplpe up here as we have several
stduents who fall into this category. It is something that they are
well aware of and they are actually considering providing their own DSA
for these stduents. We have aprox 6 students in this situation - the
poele we have been dealing with are the Workforce Development
Confederation - these people pay 80% of the salary to release the
students from their employment with the NHS to come to study.
Watch this space!

Subject: Nursing Diploma students
Some Nursing Dipploma students get bursaries and are now eligible for
DSA. Some students on the same course do not receive these bursaries as
they are doing to course through their employer, so are not eligible foe
DSA. Has anyone out there ever tried or been sucessful in obtaining
Access to Work support for such Nursing students, particularly those who
are dyslexic?
